✨ c_ftsetc — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG, and it's all about c_ftsetc. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's get into it.

💖 NAME 💖

c_ftsetc — set char valued parameters

🎀 FUNCTION PROTOTYPE 🎀

void c_ftsetc(char *, char *);

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void c_ftsetc (pnam, cval);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

• pnam — the name of the control parameter that's about to get a string value assigned to it. like, the label on the lil box, yk?
• ival — the value that gets assigned to the control parameter whose name pnam is pointing at.

yes bestie, the doc literally calls it ival even though we're setting string values. that's what it says, so that's what I'm telling you. not me fixing it 💀

💅 USAGE 💅

c_ftsetc is the move when you wanna set values for any of the control parameters that take string values. and here's the tea: the values you set with c_ftsetc stay in effect until a later call to c_ftsetc changes them. so it's not a one-and-done vibe, it's a persistent one. main character energy fr fr 👑

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to actually use c_ftsetc, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the ticket in. no library, no slay. 🫶
